The ‘Costa del Golf’ has been the benchmark for European golf holidays for decades, with some of Europe’s oldest and greatest golf courses found along this glorious stretch of coast. Considering it takes a truly special layout for any young club to make even a slight impact here, it is even more impressive that Finca Cortesin exploded onto the scene when its doors opened in 2007, and played host to the Volvo World Match Play Championship within two years in 2009, and again repeating the feat in 2011 & 2012. In association with the local area’s golfing delights such as Valderrama, Sotogrande and La Reserva, Finca Cortesin can be included in a golf tour of the very highest order that will rival anything in Europe or indeed the rest of the world.

 

Carved out of a mountain, the golf course features impeccably manicured fairways that are punctuated with bunkers filled with gleaming white sand, creating a stunning visual contrast. In addition, steep changes in elevation requires precise shot making and it’s no surprise that US Masters champion Sergio Garcia compared the greens at Finca Cortesin with those at Augusta National for their quality and speed. The hospitality too is best in the area including the exclusive bag drop service, fully-equipped buggies with the latest GPS technology, complimentary practice balls before playing, complimentary fruit and cold water service on the course, as well as a chilled towel service during the summer season.
